Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus founded in May 16, 1994, by former Congressman Norman Mineta, consists of members of the United States Congress who have a strong interest in promoting Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders issues and advocating the concerns of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. This Caucus generally includes members of East Asian, Southeast Asian, South Asian or Pacific Islander descent, members with high concentration of Asian Pacific Americans in their district or has an interest in Asian American and Pacific Islander issues.
The Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus is bipartisan and bi-cameral.
